Farnagh Hill, Longford, Co Longford
€495,000, Dalton Auctioneers
A large
six-bedroom, two-bathroom detached mid-century house
that extends to 293sq m (3,150sq ft). It has a large entrance hall, two diningrooms, multiple livingrooms as well as a tennis court, sauna, 14m indoor pool with changing rooms and a kids' play area. Its hardwood ceilings echo the American ranch-style homes of the mid-century, and it includes exposed stone walls and chimney breasts, other features of that era. The D1 Ber-rated house would benefit from a cosmetic refresh. It originally came to the market seeking €849,000 but has been 'reduced to sell', say the agents, who are now seeking €675,000.
